Handmade in Somerset these extremely tactile, hand decorated keepsake urns have a wondrous beauty, with a stunning design on both sides of the pebble each one is subtly different making it your very own unique memorial artwork. There are three designs that are symbolic:

• Swallows – Coming home
• Butterflies – Rebirth

Hand decorated. This technique of moulding and casting onto ceramic is both skilled and rare, the result is just fantastic. Many people keep their loved one’s ashes at home, some because they are not sure what to do with them, some because they are not yet ready to do something with them and some simply want to keep them close by, in the house. Sometimes, friends will give advice such as ‘it’s time to move on’ or ‘you’ll feel better if you scatter/bury them’. But only you will know how you feel about the loss of your loved one and only you will know when and if the time is right to do something, if ever, with their ashes. Until then these urns can keep the ashes safely and discreetly at home without you having to explain your reasons to anyone, if someone admires the beautiful urn then it is up to you whether you tell them or not.
